The goal has been achieved, so Su Yunyan naturally said goodbye to the young lady of Duke Ji. Her next target is the imperial palace!

Now, in the court, the young emperor is beating Master Tong, and in the harem, Imperial Concubine Tong is no longer the most favored concubine in the harem as before, but is instead on equal footing with the empress.

So this time when entering the palace, Su Yunyan did not plan to look for Concubine Tong and the Queen, but went directly to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager and A Niang once had a friendship. No matter whether this friendship is reliable now, at least it can give them some face.

Su Yunyan didn't need the Queen Mother to cheer for the essential oils and perfumes. As long as the Queen Mother was willing to accept these two things, it would be considered a success!

As soon as she entered the palace, Su Yunyan noticed the intricately carved cloud dragon stone bricks on the ground. These tiles were very expensive.

In a corner of the palace, there stands a jasper screen, on which is carved a scene of blooming flowers. The petals are layered one after another, and it seems as if you can smell the faint fragrance, adding a touch of spring to the palace.

Su Yunyan bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother: "I, Su Yunyan, pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"

"Hurry up and get up! Your mother hides you like a treasure and doesn't often bring you to the palace to see you, so you and I are so estranged."

The Queen Mother was like a kind old lady. She asked Su Yunyan to stand up and sit on her right.

He showed the gift brought by Hospital Su to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's rare that you are so thoughtful that you remember to bring me a gift! But your mother is so heartless that she has been in Yunzhou for several years and has never thought of writing me a letter."

Su Yunyan complained in her heart that the empress dowager never gave any rewards to her mother and the marquis's mansion during the holidays!

However, Su Yunyan looked like a child who was at a loss, hesitating.

Seeing Su Yunyan like this, the Queen Mother felt relieved.

It was enough for the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to have one Gu Nanxi. Seeing that Su Xuanming had the talent of a top scholar, the young emperor became more and more wary.

Fortunately, Su Erlang was determined to go to sea, and this Miss Su was not as smart and capable as the rumors said.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the maids took the box of gifts that Su Yunyan brought to the warehouse.

"Yunyan, I have watched your mother grow up. In my heart, your mother is like my sister. Your mother also watched the current emperor grow up. This relationship is not that of a relative, but it is better than that of a relative. It is normal for relatives to have some conflicts. Your mother is older than the emperor, so don't bother with her!"

Su Yunyan nodded in confusion: "You are right, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother chatted with Su Yunyan for a few more sentences and then let Su Yunyan leave.

As soon as she left the palace, Su Yunyan forgot what the Queen Mother said.

I would never tell this to my mother and cause her more trouble!

Su Yunyan had no idea what exactly happened between A Niang and the late Empress Dowager.

But Su Yunyan knew that the Queen Mother wanted to use her feelings to control her mother!

Humph, when the Emperor was afraid of my mother, why didn't he talk about kindness? Now he wants my mother to talk about kindness! Where in the world can such a good thing happen? !

Not only did Su Yunyan not intend to tell this to her mother, she also wanted to use her status as the empress dowager to raise the quality of essential oils and perfumes!

But within just three days, the entire circle of Kyoto ladies knew about the existence of rose essential oil and perfume!

It was spring, and Mrs. Tong, the Grand Tutor, sent out invitations to all the ladies in Kyoto to go on a boat ride on the Bian River.

Seven or eight ships of different sizes were prepared for the banquet.

Guests who like lively atmosphere can take a big boat, while those who like quietness can take a small boat.

As the boat sails along the winding waterways, guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake, mountains and the sea of ​​flowers on the shore.

As the saying goes, a starving camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how much Master Tong was suppressed by the emperor, he was still a veteran of three dynasties, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. No one dared to offend him.

Therefore, all the ladies who received the invitations dressed up for the event.

Among all the noble ladies vying for beauty, the young wife of Duke Ji stood out with her rich rose scent.

"Is this the essential oil that Madam Su gave you?" Madam Cheng Guoguang asked curiously.

The wife of Duke Ji nodded modestly: "It is rose essential oil! Madam Su only gave me two bottles, one bottle of essential oil and one bottle of perfume. I was reluctant to use them in the past, and only when I encountered such a big occasion, I was willing to drop one or two drops!"

As soon as he finished speaking, colorful butterflies flew in from nowhere and danced around the young wife of Duke Ji.

This scene made the guests on other boats look over.

"Oh, this is a really good thing, it can actually attract bees and butterflies!"

The young lady of Duke Ji covered her mouth and laughed, "Just attract the disc, but don't attract the bees. I'm afraid of being stung."

This self-mockery removed the sour feeling on the boat.

A lady said enviously, “I heard that Miss Su only gave this essential oil to you and the Queen Mother.”

Others chimed in, "I also heard that the Queen Mother didn't take the essential oil and perfume seriously at first, but later gave them to a concubine named Zhaoyi. Zhaoyi used the essential oil and actually snatched the Emperor away from the Imperial Concubine!"

"Oh my god, isn't Concubine Tong furious?" The ladies blinked at each other.

Concubine Tong and the Queen had a bad relationship. The Queen Mother was wavering between these two daughters-in-law and was in a dilemma!

Now that’s good, another Zhaoyi has appeared!

"Of course not. I heard that Concubine Tong went to the Empress Dowager's palace to make trouble. The Empress Dowager gave her half of the fragrant oil and perfume, and she was finally calmed down. The next day, the Empress, who received the letter, went to the Empress Dowager's palace again. The Empress Dowager gave the remaining half to the Empress, and the matter was finally settled."

Some older ladies curled their lips in disdain, saying that it was really unacceptable for this mother-in-law to act like the empress dowager!

If this happened to an ordinary old lady, she would have been eaten to death by the neighbors. How could she be controlled by her daughter-in-law and her son's concubine like this? !

But the root cause is that the son is not filial! If the son is a good person, he can naturally take care of the backyard, and the mother-in-law doesn't need to help put out the fire.

When the topic came to this, the ladies felt even more itchy.

How good must this rose essential oil and perfume be to be able to intercept the emperor, cause Concubine Tong and the queen to fight, and make the usually generous Madam Su only give it to two people? !

Someone couldn't help but ask the young wife of Duke Jiguo: "Did Madam Song tell me when this essential oil will be on sale? What's the price?"

The young lady of the Duke of Jiguo finally waited for someone to ask this question: "Madam Su said that these essential oils and perfumes will not be sold outside. They are only given as a thank you gift to repay everyone's support for Yunzhou."

We are all foxes that have practiced for thousands of years. Who could fail to understand the meaning of these words?

How to support? Either give money or give some support in other ways.

The ladies from each family looked at each other, then looked away one after another, all of them knowing what was going on.
